Mexican Riviera

Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted! Well we finally did something worthy of writing about, so I decided to get to work. We just got home from an 8 day cruise to the Mexican Riviera with Timmy's mom, dad, sister, brother-in-law, and their 3 kids. There were 11 of us altogether, and it was crazy. We mostly spent day and night a the kids pools watching the kids running around from pool to pool, going down water slides, and sitting in the hot tub. Then we got into Karaoke. That was pretty funny. We ate all the time, because you could. It was anything but relaxing. While we were at our second port, Puerta Villarta, there was a little incident which nearly killed Penny! The Mexicans were para sailing right off the beach (instead of from a boat), and the rope from the para sail came down from the sky right in front of Penny and her Cousin Morgan. Then, the rope suddenly started going back up (the wind had caught the para sail and it lifted into the air). As the rope started going back up, it scratched right across Penny and Morgan, catching Penny right under the chin (across her neck!), and pulled her backwards into the surf, holding her underwater! Luckily Timmy saw the whole thing, and was able to get her out in time. Penny was super rattled, and covered in sand. She had a terrible rope burn across her neck which progressively got worse looking as the days went on, forming a scab. Poor Penny. Anyway, we finally got her mind off it with some horse riding, which she thoroughly loved. Besides that, the rest of the trip was muy bien.
